What we do: This is a fanbased review group, open to everybody.

As people post the reviews, I will add your name and score to a list in the main post and at the end of the week average the scores for an overall grade on the book. We grade on a scale of 0-10, the meanings of which roughly translate to:

10 - Everything I want in a comic, an instant classic
9 - Excellent, a nearly perfect read
8 - Highly recommended but it has minor flaws
7 - Very good, it does have some problems
6 - Above average but has deep flaws
5 - An average comic
4 - Below average, the flaws outweigh the good
3 - A disappointing comic
2 - Forgettable, a waste of time
1 - Stay away!! One of the worst comics I've read

Anyone who participates is asked to please keep this scale in mind when giving a grade so that everyone is operating on the same system.

THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE EVERY WEEK. Please join in as little or as much as you like week to week. If you are uncomfortable giving a grade then just join in the discussions and ask questions.

I really hope this is a good issue. I want to build some buzz for this book.

I'd be alot more interested if Willingham was still doing the art.

Not much else, really. It's a new arc.

I am loving this book. I would love to see an arc focusing on Ragman... and bring on more Detective Chimp!

If they had stuck with him or Walker I'd probably buy it.

Derenick was the kiss of death for this book.

The first 12 issues have been rock solid, but with all the loose ends tied up, I guess it was time to introduce some villains and threats. We got that in truck loads here. The potential for the next books is there; with Willingham's storytelling, this would be a great place to jump on board. The only negatives of the issue were that Shadowpact was only in about 2 pages- I understand why, but bring on the Chimp. I wasn't really fond of the art with the guest artist this issue. As silly as it sounds, because of the art, it didn't feel like a Shadowpact issue- the flow was broken. 7 out of 10. (4 out of 5 story, 3 out of 5 art)

Willingham's art was so perfect for the book. It really is too bad that he doesn't have the time to pencil it.
